The National Democratic Congress (NDC) Women's Organizer for Komenda-Edina-Eguafo-Abrem (KEEA) constituency in the Central Region, Ms. Vivian Sortoh has on Easter Monday, April 10, 2023 donated assorted items to the Elmina Rehabilitation Centre.

A facility which comes with a mechanical garage, poultry farm section, a mill centre, an inpatient mental health treatment centre, a carpentry shop centre, tailoring centre, among others has for years been neglected by successive Ghanaian governments to rot.

But the passionate Women's Organizer who had compassion upon hearing the ill-condition the centre's mental health inpatients often goes through, particularly on their upkeep thought it wise to celebrate with these patients by way of donation on the eve of Easter.

Items donated by the Women's Organizer include gallons of liquid soap, packs of toilet roll, sanitary pads, bags of rice, packs of soft drinks, washing and bath soaps, cooking oil, sachet water, toothpaste, toothbrush, leader sandals, among others.

Ms. Vivian Sortoh after the colorful donation told Sompa TV/FM reporter Eric Annan her kind gesture towards the Elmina Rehabilitation Centre isn't the first to have happen and certainly won't be last.

She further appealed to various  stakeholders and NGOs within and outside the country to come to the aid of the rehab centre for assistance with the little they can offer for the smooth running of the facility.

Madam Veronica Amoah, a Superintendent Health Assistant to the facility who received the donated items on behalf of the facility, expressed her heartfelt appreciation towards the humanitarian act by the Women's Organizer as she called for more of such benevolence from other entities having had the facility face lot challenges.
